CITY OF MALOLOS, BULACAN, Philippines — Nearly 20,000 public high school students in the city will be kept updated on current events for a deeper appreciation of social studies, improved reading skills and comprehension, and enhanced media literacy through INQskwela, a collaborative project between the Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI), the City Government of Malolos and the Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division in Malolos.
A memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the INQskwela partnership with Malolos was signed on July 15 by Mayor Christian Natividad, DepEd-Malolos Division Superintendent Leilani Cunanan, PDI assistant vice president and Inquirer Foundation executive director Connie Kalagayan, and PDI national sales manager Roy Raul Mendiola.
The INQskwela project offers partner schools free access to the InquirerPlus app—the newspaper’s digital version—for it to be used by students and teachers as a supplemental learning material. In Malolos, the partnership will provide InquirerPlus daily to nearly 20,000 students in all the 57 public high schools. Students will have free access through their teachers and school heads, mainly via social media groups specifically created for their lessons.
